After the death of my wife, I criticized the CEO like crazy and he panicked

"I hope you don't forget that you are just a secretary now." Huo Jinzhou's voice was very calm. "As a secretary, I will check the things you hand in in advance next time. This is not a garbage recycling station."

Yan Qiqi was stunned for a moment, a coldness flashed in her eyes, and she responded, "Okay, I will make a new one for you."

"Also, don't think that I don't know what you are planning. You owe Nie Tong and me, and you will never be able to pay it back in this lifetime!"

His words made Yan Qiqi's face stiffen, and she subconsciously retorted, "I didn't."

"It's best not." Huo Jinzhou gave her an unclear look, "Otherwise, I don't mind letting you know the consequences."

He turned and left.

The man stepped forward with his long legs, and his slender figure quickly disappeared around the corner.

Yan Qiqi looked at the direction he left, her eyes narrowed slightly. Zhou Rui was also Huo Jinzhou's business competitor.

He showed his kindness to him simply because he wanted to find out information about Huo Jinzhou.

She lowered her eyes. She didn't want to get involved in the matter between Zhou Rui and Huo Jinzhou.

He returned to the banquet hall, walked to the corner, and picked up a glass of wine.

"Qiqi." A familiar voice sounded.

She looked sideways and saw that the person coming was her college classmate and good friend - Lu Man.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." Lu Man stepped forward, "I thought you wouldn't appear on such an occasion again."

After finishing his words, Lu Man seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, so he shut up.

Yan Qiqi didn't answer and took a sip of wine, "What about you? I remember you stayed abroad."

"Yes, I originally planned to settle abroad, but my family kept urging me to return to China, and I also felt that I never felt a sense of belonging outside, so I came back." Lu Man said about his experience.

The two chatted for a while, and Lu Man suddenly said, "By the way, do you know Zhou Rui? I saw that he just talked to you."

"Not familiar." Yan Qiqi said calmly, "What's wrong?"

"He is a very good person, and he seems to be quite interested in you. You guys..."

"Lu Man." Yan Qiqi suddenly interrupted her, "If this is what we are talking about, then I don't think there is any need to reminisce about the past."

"You..." Lu Man was a little embarrassed by what he was saying, his eyes evasive, "I just think you two are quite suitable. Zhou Rui is a good-looking person with a good family background, and he treats you..."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have no plans to fall in love now." Yan Qiqi said quietly.

She didn't want to continue this topic.

"Wait a minute." Lu Man stopped her, "Let's chat for a while. We haven't seen each other for a long time. When the banquet is over, I will take you back."

"No, I can go back by myself." Yan Qiqi refused.

"Don't be willful. This place is so far away from your home. It's not safe for you, a girl, to go back."

Yan Qiqi had no choice but to give up.

Until the end of the banquet, Yan Qiqi did not see Huo Jinzhou. It seemed that the other party was quite busy.

There is an unknown message on the phone.

However, Yan Qiqi had already memorized this phone number. It belonged to Huo Jinzhou.

"The banquet is over, you go back first."

Yan Qiqi pressed the pause button, and Lu Man couldn't help but walk outside with Yan Qiqi's small satchel.

The two walked to the door of the banquet hall, and a familiar black extended version of Lincoln parked on the roadside.

She paused and looked at the man walking out of the car.

The man was wearing a black suit, with a deep face and a strong aura.

It's Huo Jinzhou.

Lu Man followed her line of sight, and when he saw the person coming, he took a deep breath, "What a handsome man..."

The next moment, she seemed to think of something, and her face suddenly changed, "He is... Huo Jinzhou?!"

She turned to look at Yan Qiqi, "Why is he here? He's not you..." Is that her ex-husband?

She didn't dare to ask the second half of the sentence.

"I don't know." Yan Qiqi said lightly.

Huo Jinzhou had previously sent him a message asking him to go back after the banquet.

It's really strange to be here again now.

Seeing that Yan Qiqi didn't want to talk more, Lu Man didn't ask any more questions.

Huo Jinzhou walked towards this side with long legs, and his strong aura made the people around him automatically make way for him.

He walked to Yan Qiqi and stopped in front of him. The atmosphere around him instantly became cold and he didn't say a word. However, Yan Qiqi understood what the other party meant and turned to say goodbye to Lu Man.

The latter nodded and asked Yan Qiqi to send him a message at home.

Yan Qiqi turned around and was about to get in the car.

A voice suddenly came from behind.

"Secretary Yan, you dropped something."

She turned around and saw the blue earrings in Zhou Rui's hand, and subconsciously touched her earlobes. They were indeed hers.

Maybe I accidentally dropped it somewhere before.

Yan Qiqi was about to take it, but Zhou Rui suddenly squeezed her hand with a gentle smile on her face.

"Secretary Yan, I helped you find your lost earring, should you treat me to a meal as well?"

The other party acted as if Yan Qiqi would not give her the earrings if she didn't agree.

Yan Qiqi pursed her lips, understanding that the other party clearly did this on purpose.

A sharp gaze fell on him from his side.

The next moment, with almost no hesitation, a pair of big hands took the earring and threw it directly into the trash can.

"I didn't know that Mr. Zhou had the good character of being willing to help others." Huo Jinzhou's voice was cold.

"It's just a coincidence." Zhou Rui's eyes fell on him.

Yan Qiqi turned around and got into the car without hesitation.

Huo Jinzhou stared at Zhou Rui closely, almost cutting him into pieces with his eyes. It took him a long while before he got into the car.

In the car, the two people were silent all the way.

Huo Jinzhou clenched his hands into fists with bulging veins, and the air pressure around his body was very low.

Anyone with eyes could tell he was in a bad mood.

So when he arrived at the door of the villa, Huo Jinzhou coldly uttered two words, "Go down."

Yan Qiqi asked subconsciously: "What?"

"Go down." Huo Jinzhou turned sideways and stared at her coldly, "Don't think that I don't know about Zhou Rui's little tricks. I tell you, you'd better stay away from him, otherwise I will make you walk around without food."

He said coldly and closed the car door directly.

The car immediately started and drove some distance to a stop.

Huo Jinzhou sat alone in the car.

The driver said fearfully: "Sir, do you want to go back?"

Huo Jinzhou said nothing, and the driver had no choice but to sit in front, not daring to make any move.

The man let out a breath.

Originally, he was invited to the banquet today because a new project in his hands was valued by the Zhao family and he wanted to join forces with the Huo family.

But the Zhao family has one request: they hope they can marry Zhao Xinyu.

For Huo Jinzhou, marriage between businessmen is only about profit.

But for no reason, he didn't want to agree to the other party.

Originally he had many things to worry about, but when he saw the two talking, Huo Jinzhou's annoyance suddenly rose to the extreme.

Even I don't know why I'm worried.

The atmosphere in the car was dull.

After a long time, Huo Jinzhou returned to the villa.
